I'm a veteran & I'm still waiting to get the day off like the state and federal workers do.:banghead: I guess I'll have to wait until I retire then everyday is a holiday!!:yes:

Reminds me of the time after I went to work for Uncle. I got together for morning coffee on President's Day with my previous coworkers, who worked for a small company, before they took off on their daily sales and repair calls. They were giving me a hard time about all the Government holidays I was getting. I told them, "Yeah, you're right. I get all the good holidays like President's Day, Columbus Day, MLK Day. You guys get all the bad holidays like day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, New Years Eve!" We all got the same number of holidays, just not the same ones! :yes:

Another bit of trivia, well maybe not so trivial, about Veterans Day. It was one of the holidays that was changed to a Monday under the Monday Holiday bill back in 1968 when it, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, and Columbus Day were all moved to Mondays. The national outcry was so great Congress reversed itself and reestablished Veterans Day as Nov 11 in 1975, effective in 1978. It's the only Monday holiday to have been moved back to its original day of celebration.

This forum is not the best place to ask for correct spelling or grammar. Y'all know who you are, just saying.


As a USAF veteran with sons that have been in the service and one that is still in the NAVY, I cringe when I hear someone say "Happy Memorial Day". Just doesn't sit right with me. Takes away the whole meaning of what the day is supposed to be for.

Which of these spellings do you think is proper and correct and why.

A - Veterans Day

B - Veteran's Day

C - Veterans' Day


Cruzr Joe

Gramatically speaking, "A" or "C". "B" and "C" show possession such that "C" shows plural possession, ie. belongs to all veterans. "B" shows individual possession, ie. belongs to one veteran. It makes a difference where you put the apostrophe if you are going to use one. "A" references a name and can be used also.

Id like to add more quiz if you dont mind Joe. Fyi I have a small collection of medals awarded to my granfather. & pass on to me, the information & lliving family that would know are vary limited.

The correct answer is


"A" because it does not belong to them, it celebrates them. (but i liked everyone's answer)

Take a good clear pic of each one individually and use it to do a photo search on Google. You'll get a a lot meaningless hits but you just might get a good informative hit.

Neither

Is it 'I have a break in my brake' or 'I have a brake in my break'?

Perhaps "My brake is broke" or "I have a broke brake". But somehow I think "broken" should come into play here somewhere.
